Official VAQ-139 Cougars Command Flag Patch — Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum
If you want peace, prepare for electronic war.
VAQ-139 "Cougars" is an Electronic Attack Squadron flying the EA-18G Growler out of NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. Established on July 1, 1983, the Cougars specialize in electromagnetic attack — jamming enemy radar, disrupting communications, and providing electronic warfare support to strike packages and ground forces. The Cougars flew the EA-6B Prowler for nearly three decades before transitioning to the Growler, and in September 2013 conducted the first successful live fire of the AIM-120 AMRAAM from an EA-18G. During their deployment with CVW-17 aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt, the Cougars supported Operation Inherent Resolve on what became the longest carrier deployment since Vietnam, providing over 75% of all Airborne Electronic Attack support in theater. The Cougars also led humanitarian relief efforts during Typhoon Fengshen in the Philippines and Operation Tomodachi after Japan's 2011 earthquake. This command flag patch carries the authority of the squadron's leadership.
Perfect For: VAQ-139 Cougars aircrew and maintainers, EA-18G Growler community, NAS Whidbey Island squadrons, CVW-17 veterans, and anyone who understands that controlling the electromagnetic spectrum is half the battle.
VAQ-139 — the Cougars own the spectrum.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
